WHAT would you do if you were in a tragic situation? Most people would prioritize saving themselves and their loved ones, but Ryan Conson was different.Conson, a 38-year-old volunteer firefighter from Barangay Looc, Mandaue City, fearlessly ran through blazing houses and pavements to put out the fire in Sitio Under the Bridge, located underneath the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge (also known as the first bridge) on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.He was one of the first responders who rushed to the site of the fire, prioritizing the safety of the entire community over his own.Peaceful lunchAt the Looc Gym on Thursday, March 14, Conson spoke to the media about his experience during the Tuesday fire. On Tuesday afternoon, enjoying a quiet lunch at home, Conson suddenly noticed black smoke in a nearby area. Conson wasted no time in rushing to their fire truck at the Barangay Hall to investigate the black smoke.“Padung mi didtos nasunogan, dayon nag set up mi direcho. Mao nang dagan kos sulod, nitira ko dayon. Di na gyud namo matabang kay dako na kaayo ang kayo, unya kusog na kaayo ang hangin sad. Hapit pa gani among fire truck nasunog,” said Conson.(On the way to the area affected by the fire, we set up quickly. I ran inside the fire zone and trained my fire hose on the fire immediately. Unfortunately, the fire had already become too large and the wind was too strong. Our fire truck even almost caught fire.)Despite the danger, Conson and his team bravely attempted to extinguish the fire, but it quickly spiraled out of their control.Home lost As the situation worsened, Conson quickly ran back home and handed his family, especially his child, to his siblings for safety. Afterward, he returned to his firefighting duties.After a few minutes, Conson faced the worst experience a firefighter could ever go through. While he was busy saving other houses from the flames, he lost his house.Conson narrated the heartbreaking moment when he had to battle the fire to prevent it from engulfing his home of 20 years.But his composure never faltered in fighting the fire. This time, he was not only saving his community but also neighboring areas from losing their homes with the fire getting more aggressive, just like he was. More than 500 families were eventually displaced by the fire after it burned 370 houses.Rise of a heroConson has a day job working as a staff member at a motorboat port near his residence in addition to his job as a volunteer firefighter. He said the fire incident that occurred in Sitio Paradise, also in Barangay Looc, on Nov. 22, 2022, which was close to his neighborhood, inspired him to join the firefighting brigade in his barangay.The Paradise fire destroyed about 600 homes, displacing 2,737 individuals, making it one of the largest fire incidents in Cebu in 2022.“I volunteered because I really wanted to help people,” said Conson. He then trained in firefighting techniques at the Bureau of Fire Protection Mandaue Office. Conson works as a volunteer firefighter and receives an honorarium of P3,500 a month. He is on call for two shifts, day or night, and promptly responds to any fire incident, even those outside his barangay when the help of their fire brigade is required.For him, his small salary does not matter as he finds happiness in saving people in fire incidents.His most memorable assignment was the fire last Tuesday. Conson is now one of the 515 families affected by the fire who have found temporary refuge at the Looc Gymnasium. The Mandaue City Government is currently hosting evacuees at the gymnasium and nearby Cesar Cabahug Elementary School.Sadly, Conson and his family were unable to save any of their belongings and only escaped the fire with their lives.The first-degree burns on his left arm, which he did not notice until the fire was successfully extinguished, was the only souvenir of his heroic deed and Sitio Under the Bridge’s tragic fate.While waiting for help from the government and other individuals, Conson’s patriotic heart remains, as he chooses to still be a volunteer firefighter despite his experience.“This is a new chapter of my life, but I will continue to help other people. I have been a volunteer firefighter for a year now,” he said in Cebuano.

"We are determined to assert our sovereign rights, especially within our exclusive economic zone.”Austin later hosted Marcos at the Pentagon, where they discussed ways to deepen military cooperation, including by increasing the frequency of joint patrols in the South China Sea.

CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has called for the ouster of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project manager Norvim Imbong due to alleged mismanagement of the project.In an interview on Friday, March 1, 2024, Rama said he already communicated with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista regarding his “decision” to remove Imbong from the project. Over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, Rama also said if needed, he would personally bring up his decision to remove Imbong from his position to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.Rama attributed the delays in the CBRT project to Imbong’s “mismanagement” and alleged lack of coordination with the City.Rama expressed displeasure when Imbong allowed the contractor to work without considering its impact on traffic.In a separate interview with radio dyHP on Thursday, Rama said he already told Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell that he had enough of Imbong.“Taga-an lang ka’g smile-smile (He just keeps on smiling). I’m sorry, I want him out,”Rama said.Original routeRama was also displeased that the original route of the CBRT project was altered, particularly on the exclusion of Barangay Bulacao.“Tan-awa giunsa ninyo, dayon moingon mo nga wala mo’y kalibutan (Look at what you’ve done. And then you will say you know nothing about it),” Rama said.Last November, SunStar Cebu reported that the project’s completion date had been pushed to 2027 due to changes in the design, including the inclusion of Package 4, which is a dedicated lane from Barangay Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the South Road Properties (SRP) coastal road and along F. Vestil St.Rama said he will push for the CBRT’s original concept and sit down with concerned national officials to discuss the matter.Rama denied allegations he was responsible for the changes to the CBRT route, arguing that he fought for the original plan, but some officials dipped their hands into the project. Imbong’s sideSought for comment on Rama’s call for his ouster, Imbong said on Friday that it would be up to the discretion of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Central Office whether or not to replace him.In a phone interview, Imbong told SunStar Cebu that he understands Rama’s perspective in asking for his removal due to project delays.However, he said the delays were inevitable as these were caused by setbacks such as processing permits, road conditions, underground waterpipes and telecommunication cables, the rainy season, the Sinulog festival, and others. Imbong explained that the CBRT project involves the DOTr as proponent, the China-based Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd as the contractor, and the South Korea-based Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd., as the construction supervision consultant. Approval from consultantImbong said every change in the implementation and planning of the CBRT project due to setbacks needs the approval of the construction supervision consultant. Imbong said Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd. led the project’s technical working group. The firm also made the detailed engineering design of the CBRT. “Because this is foreign-funded, it’s not the same as us directly managing our contractor since we have a construction supervision consultant,” Imbong said in Cebuano.“Everything the contractor does has to abide by the specification of the consultant. Otherwise, work on the project will not proceed,” he added. Imbong said because of this setup, DOTr project engineers cannot supervise the contractor who will have to follow the consultant’s specifications in order to be billed for their civil works. He said the DOTr helps the contractor and consultant in the coordination with local government units (LGUs), including the filing and application of necessary permits and authorizations.Imbong also pointed to Cebu’s Fiesta Señor celebration and the Sinulog festival in Jan. 2024 as another cause of delay. Imbong said majority of the civil works months before the festival were rescheduled to give way to major events such as the solemn procession. The rainy season in the latter part of 2023 also delayed the project as the excavated portion was easily filled with rainwater that had to be pumped out, said Imbong.Heritage About the order to halt ongoing works along Osmeña Blvd., fronting the Cebu Capitol Building going to Fuente Osmeña Circle, Imbong said the DOTr is now coordinating with the Cultural and Historical Affairs Office (Chao) Cebu City for redesigning and approval. He said they were caught off-guard by Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia’s Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building. Back in 2020, Imbong said they collaborated with the Chao to determine if the CBRT project will affect buildings and sites with historical and cultural significance. He said CBRT proponents also presented project plans including the location of the bus station; however, they did not receive recommendations or corrections from the Chao at the time. Imbong clarified that he is not blaming the Chao. Rather, he is now focused on resolving concerns raised by the Cebu Provincial Government and will seek the approval of the Chao and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as mandated under RA 10066. “I don’t like putting blame on anyone,” Imbong said. / AML, EHP

WHAT would you do if you were in a tragic situation? Most people would prioritize saving themselves and their loved ones, but Ryan Conson was different.Conson, a 38-year-old volunteer firefighter from Barangay Looc, Mandaue City, fearlessly ran through blazing houses and pavements to put out the fire in Sitio Under the Bridge, located underneath the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge (also known as the first bridge) on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.He was one of the first responders who rushed to the site of the fire, prioritizing the safety of the entire community over his own.Peaceful lunchAt the Looc Gym on Thursday, March 14, Conson spoke to the media about his experience during the Tuesday fire. On Tuesday afternoon, enjoying a quiet lunch at home, Conson suddenly noticed black smoke in a nearby area. Conson wasted no time in rushing to their fire truck at the Barangay Hall to investigate the black smoke.“Padung mi didtos nasunogan, dayon nag set up mi direcho. Mao nang dagan kos sulod, nitira ko dayon. Di na gyud namo matabang kay dako na kaayo ang kayo, unya kusog na kaayo ang hangin sad. Hapit pa gani among fire truck nasunog,” said Conson.(On the way to the area affected by the fire, we set up quickly. I ran inside the fire zone and trained my fire hose on the fire immediately. Unfortunately, the fire had already become too large and the wind was too strong. Our fire truck even almost caught fire.)Despite the danger, Conson and his team bravely attempted to extinguish the fire, but it quickly spiraled out of their control.Home lost As the situation worsened, Conson quickly ran back home and handed his family, especially his child, to his siblings for safety. Afterward, he returned to his firefighting duties.After a few minutes, Conson faced the worst experience a firefighter could ever go through. While he was busy saving other houses from the flames, he lost his house.Conson narrated the heartbreaking moment when he had to battle the fire to prevent it from engulfing his home of 20 years.But his composure never faltered in fighting the fire. This time, he was not only saving his community but also neighboring areas from losing their homes with the fire getting more aggressive, just like he was. More than 500 families were eventually displaced by the fire after it burned 370 houses.Rise of a heroConson has a day job working as a staff member at a motorboat port near his residence in addition to his job as a volunteer firefighter. He said the fire incident that occurred in Sitio Paradise, also in Barangay Looc, on Nov. 22, 2022, which was close to his neighborhood, inspired him to join the firefighting brigade in his barangay.The Paradise fire destroyed about 600 homes, displacing 2,737 individuals, making it one of the largest fire incidents in Cebu in 2022.“I volunteered because I really wanted to help people,” said Conson. He then trained in firefighting techniques at the Bureau of Fire Protection Mandaue Office. Conson works as a volunteer firefighter and receives an honorarium of P3,500 a month. He is on call for two shifts, day or night, and promptly responds to any fire incident, even those outside his barangay when the help of their fire brigade is required.For him, his small salary does not matter as he finds happiness in saving people in fire incidents.His most memorable assignment was the fire last Tuesday. Conson is now one of the 515 families affected by the fire who have found temporary refuge at the Looc Gymnasium. The Mandaue City Government is currently hosting evacuees at the gymnasium and nearby Cesar Cabahug Elementary School.Sadly, Conson and his family were unable to save any of their belongings and only escaped the fire with their lives.The first-degree burns on his left arm, which he did not notice until the fire was successfully extinguished, was the only souvenir of his heroic deed and Sitio Under the Bridge’s tragic fate.While waiting for help from the government and other individuals, Conson’s patriotic heart remains, as he chooses to still be a volunteer firefighter despite his experience.“This is a new chapter of my life, but I will continue to help other people. I have been a volunteer firefighter for a year now,” he said in Cebuano. Can I play on my mobile devices? .

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Friday reassured the Philippines anew that the U.S. commitment to the country's defense is steadfast amid increasing concerns about provocative Chinese actions in disputed areas of the South China Sea.A day after President Joe Biden convened a trilateral summit involving himself, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the U.S. and Filipino foreign and defense ministers and national security advisers met to discuss strategic and military issues.Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and national security adviser Jake Sullivan hosted their Philippine counterparts at the State Department.“Today’s meeting reflects the growing and deepening cooperation between our countries on a broad array of issues and of course our shared commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific, including in the South China Sea,” Blinken said in brief opening remarks. “We very much welcome this opportunity to pursue that cooperation, that collaboration and of course we stand with the Philippines in our iron-clad defense commitments including the Mutual Defense Treaty.”Philippine Foreign Minister Enrique Manalo echoed those remarks. “We attach a lot of importance to this meeting especially in light of recent developments in the South China Sea, especially China’s escalation of its harassment,” he said. "We are determined to assert our sovereign rights, especially within our exclusive economic zone.”Austin later hosted Marcos at the Pentagon, where they discussed ways to deepen military cooperation, including by increasing the frequency of joint patrols in the South China Sea. Austin noted that the Pentagon’s budget request for 2025 includes $128 million for 36 projects at Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement sites, which would more than double the amount it has invested since the program began 10 years ago.“This visit here to the Pentagon reaffirms once again the strength of the relationship between the United States and the Philippines in the face of all of the threats and challenges that we have had to face together,” Marcos said. He said he hoped the agreements reached Thursday “will make the safety, the peace and the stability of the South China Sea a reality.”On Thursday at the summit, Biden said the U.S. treaty obligations to its Pacific allies, like Japan and the Philippines, were “ironclad.” “Any attack on Philippine aircraft, vessels or armed forces in the South China Sea would invoke our mutual defense treaty,” Biden said.The White House billed the first trilateral summit with Japan and the Philippines as a potent response to China’s attempts at “intimidation” and said it would send a message that China is “the outlier in the neighborhood,” according to an administration official.The U.S. and the Philippines have had a mutual treaty in place for more than 70 years. Biden’s vigorous reinforcement of the American commitment comes in the midst of persistent skirmishes between the Philippine and Chinese coast guards in the disputed South China Sea.Relations between China and the Philippines have been repeatedly tested by confrontations involving the two nations’ coast guard vessels there. Chinese coast guard ships also regularly approach disputed Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands near Taiwan.The so-called “gray-zone” harassment by China has included shining military-grade lasers at the Philippine Coast Guard, firing water cannons at vessels and ramming into Philippine ships near the Second Thomas Shoal, which both Manila and Beijing claim. In 1999, Manila intentionally ran a World War II–era ship aground on the shoal, establishing a permanent military presence there.Chinese officials have bristled at criticism over their actions in the South China Sea and blamed the U.S. for exacerbating tensions.Spokeswoman Mao Ning of the Chinese Foreign Ministry said China has “indisputable sovereignty” over the Second Thomas Shoal — a primary source of contention with the Philippines — as well as the Senkaku Islands and said its actions in the South and East China Seas are justified, lawful and beyond reproach.“We firmly oppose relevant countries flexing muscles and acting like bullies in the South China Sea,” she said. “Relevant countries, out of selfish interests, join countries outside the region and serve as their pawns to contain China.

(AP) licensed online casinos CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama has called for the ouster of Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) project manager Norvim Imbong due to alleged mismanagement of the project.In an interview on Friday, March 1, 2024, Rama said he already communicated with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista regarding his “decision” to remove Imbong from the project. Over Cebu City Hall’s online program “Ingna’ng Mayor” on Thursday, Feb. 29, Rama also said if needed, he would personally bring up his decision to remove Imbong from his position to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.Rama attributed the delays in the CBRT project to Imbong’s “mismanagement” and alleged lack of coordination with the City.Rama expressed displeasure when Imbong allowed the contractor to work without considering its impact on traffic.In a separate interview with radio dyHP on Thursday, Rama said he already told Cebu City Administrator Collin Rosell that he had enough of Imbong.“Taga-an lang ka’g smile-smile (He just keeps on smiling). I’m sorry, I want him out,”Rama said.Original routeRama was also displeased that the original route of the CBRT project was altered, particularly on the exclusion of Barangay Bulacao.“Tan-awa giunsa ninyo, dayon moingon mo nga wala mo’y kalibutan (Look at what you’ve done. And then you will say you know nothing about it),” Rama said.Last November, SunStar Cebu reported that the project’s completion date had been pushed to 2027 due to changes in the design, including the inclusion of Package 4, which is a dedicated lane from Barangay Bulacao to Mambaling; extension of the alignment from Ayala to Cebu IT Park; a rotunda underneath the Mambaling flyover; and the conversion of a mixed traffic lane along the South Road Properties (SRP) coastal road and along F. Vestil St.Rama said he will push for the CBRT’s original concept and sit down with concerned national officials to discuss the matter.Rama denied allegations he was responsible for the changes to the CBRT route, arguing that he fought for the original plan, but some officials dipped their hands into the project. Imbong’s sideSought for comment on Rama’s call for his ouster, Imbong said on Friday that it would be up to the discretion of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Central Office whether or not to replace him.In a phone interview, Imbong told SunStar Cebu that he understands Rama’s perspective in asking for his removal due to project delays.However, he said the delays were inevitable as these were caused by setbacks such as processing permits, road conditions, underground waterpipes and telecommunication cables, the rainy season, the Sinulog festival, and others. Imbong explained that the CBRT project involves the DOTr as proponent, the China-based Hunan Road and Bridge Construction Group Ltd as the contractor, and the South Korea-based Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd., as the construction supervision consultant. Approval from consultantImbong said every change in the implementation and planning of the CBRT project due to setbacks needs the approval of the construction supervision consultant. Imbong said Kunhwa Engineering and Consulting Co. Ltd. led the project’s technical working group. The firm also made the detailed engineering design of the CBRT. “Because this is foreign-funded, it’s not the same as us directly managing our contractor since we have a construction supervision consultant,” Imbong said in Cebuano.“Everything the contractor does has to abide by the specification of the consultant. Otherwise, work on the project will not proceed,” he added. Imbong said because of this setup, DOTr project engineers cannot supervise the contractor who will have to follow the consultant’s specifications in order to be billed for their civil works. He said the DOTr helps the contractor and consultant in the coordination with local government units (LGUs), including the filing and application of necessary permits and authorizations.Imbong also pointed to Cebu’s Fiesta Señor celebration and the Sinulog festival in Jan. 2024 as another cause of delay. Imbong said majority of the civil works months before the festival were rescheduled to give way to major events such as the solemn procession. The rainy season in the latter part of 2023 also delayed the project as the excavated portion was easily filled with rainwater that had to be pumped out, said Imbong.Heritage About the order to halt ongoing works along Osmeña Blvd., fronting the Cebu Capitol Building going to Fuente Osmeña Circle, Imbong said the DOTr is now coordinating with the Cultural and Historical Affairs Office (Chao) Cebu City for redesigning and approval. He said they were caught off-guard by Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia’s Memorandum 16-2024 ordering the contractor to immediately stop the construction of the bus station in front of the Capitol building. Back in 2020, Imbong said they collaborated with the Chao to determine if the CBRT project will affect buildings and sites with historical and cultural significance. He said CBRT proponents also presented project plans including the location of the bus station; however, they did not receive recommendations or corrections from the Chao at the time. Imbong clarified that he is not blaming the Chao. Rather, he is now focused on resolving concerns raised by the Cebu Provincial Government and will seek the approval of the Chao and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as mandated under RA 10066. “I don’t like putting blame on anyone,” Imbong said. / AML, EHP
